Many organisations aren’t getting the most out of their Microsoft licenses. Intune is a powerful, flexible tool used to secure your endpoints, but you could be missing out by not using it effectively (or at all). So what do you need to do?
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management solution that comes bundled with many Microsoft 365 licenses. It allows you to manage devices, enforce security policies, control app access, and remotely support a hybrid workforce. Intune helps keep everything secure and connected on any supported device.
It’s an overlooked tool, especially for organisations looking to centralise control and boost endpoint security without increasing workload.
Intune vs. third-party tools
We’re not saying all third-party tools are bad. But if you’re already paying for Intune, it makes sense to consider what you’re getting out of that extra spend.
Intune handles mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), policy deployment, compliance reporting, remote actions like wipe and restart, and much more. In short, everything a third-party tool might do, but already included in your Microsoft stack.
The benefits of making the most of Intune
Strengthen your security posture
Intune helps enforce consistent security policies across all your supported devices. With features like remote wipe, conditional access, and compliance enforcement, you stay in control, even when your people are working anywhere.
Simplify device and app management
From enrolling new devices to pushing updates and apps, Intune makes endpoint management much more efficient.
Automate the everyday
Intune integrates deeply with Azure AD and Microsoft 365, allowing you to automate enrolment, apply policies by user group, and keep your environment secure with minimal manual intervention. That means less admin work and more time for strategic projects.
Maximise your Microsoft investment
You’ve already got access to Intune through many Microsoft 365 licences, so using it helps you consolidate your tools, reduce duplication, and avoid the cost of additional third-party solutions.
Scale as you grow
Intune works whether you’ve got 50 devices or 5,000. As your organisation grows, your endpoint management scales with you, no need to start over or rework your entire approach.
In short: when Intune is properly configured and proactively managed, it makes endpoint security and management more efficient, more cost-effective, and more aligned with your broader IT strategy.
